how is little ralfie today? have you been to the vets yet? sending hugs and cuddles to you both and hoping ralfie has improved. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: come on ralfie you can do it. thinking of you both! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Hi everyone, well i'll start from the beginning! went to bed at about 5 and got back up at 8, there was Ralfie sitting in a pile of normal poo's looking fine >:( still didnt look as if he'd eaten anything so we went to the vets, he said Ralfie doesnt have bloat, he's just fat LOL woops, though his tummy doesnt feel anywhere near as hard as last night, the normal poo's stopped and he's having slightly soft ones now (maybe due to infacol?). the vet checked his teeth and said he had so much food stuck in them he could hardly see them, tried cleaning them etc but he was far too fidgetty so he said from the amount of food in his mouth he must have eaten today which suggests it may have been gas or something blocking him up last night. He's given him a metacam injection incase he's in pain and said to see how he is today with eating and pooing, he also said to give him a bit of vitamin c because he's seen a few pigs looking out of sorts and a bit off through lack of it. The vet did say though that Ralfie would be impossible for a teeth clipping without anaesthetic because he's so strong, he has amazing upper body strength from being paralysed. So thats it really, if he still isnt eating by himself tomorrow i'll have to book him in for a tooth check while under anaesthetic because he's such a monkey :( he's had this twice before and ben fine though, he looks fine, legging it everywhere, i on the other hand look awful xx0 my thought is that he had a bit of gas which stopped him eating, the infacol helped so he started eating then his poo's gone a bit soft because of the infacol not being something he would normally have like Izzy said about the olive oil. sorry to keep you all waiting and if i dont make sense, I'm so tired xx0 thank you all for the lovely messages :smitten:
 
that is great news emma :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: so glad ralfie is better today he is a real little rocky(champ) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: here's hoping he continues to pick up for you today :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: and if he does have to have his teeth cleaned hoping all goes well there too. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: you have a good sleep, you have done a wonderful job with him and you deserve the rest :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: he's not even my piggy but i feel like dancing and shouting out on the rooftops! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: i am so happy for you :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: hugs and cuddles to you both from me and the girls :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: and take care hun and sending prayers for your little monkey, he is a real champ! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
